Eteocles is Polyneices' brother. The two are actually twins. They're among the four children of disgraced Theban King Creon and Theban Queen Jocasta. They inherit the throne with their father's blinding and exile, and their mother's suicide. They're supposed to share royal powers by alternating years of rule. But Eteocles refuses to give up his powers when his year is over. He banishes Polyneices, who returns with a vengeance as part of a combined force of invading Argives and discontented Thebans. Polyneices loses the battle, which ends with the brothers killing each other.

What kind of relationship does Polyneices have with his two sisters and brother in 'Antigone'?
Devoted, hostile and weak are the respective kinds of relationships that Polyneices has with his two sisters and his brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the relationship between Polyneices and his sister Antigone is devoted, positive, respectful and strong. His relationship with his twin brother Eteocles is negative. Polyneices' relationship with his youngest sister Ismene appears to be weak since Ismene seems unaffected and unconcerned about Polyneices' body being consumed by birds and dogs.
